Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi started the year 2026 with a bang. In the first innings of this year, he definitely scored less but crossed the double figure. After that he scored 3 fifty plus scores one after the other, which included a century. But as the Under-19 World Cup comes closer, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's condition is looking bad. India has to start its Under-19 World Cup campaign against USA from January 15. But before that, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's miserable failure in the second warm-up match against England is going to increase the concern of Team India.

How did Vaibhav Suryavanshi fail miserably?

Now you must be wondering how Vaibhav Suryavanshi failed miserably in the warm-up against England? The answer to this question lies in his batting itself. He did not even play one over's worth of balls in his innings. His innings ended in just 4 balls. Not only this, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is famous all over the world for his strike rate, scored runs against England at a very modest strike rate of 25. He scored just 1 run on 4 balls.

Warm-up against England got off to a bad start due to Vaibhav not walking

This bad condition of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, which happened before the start of the main matches of the Under-19 World Cup, has increased the tension of Team India. The reason behind this is that he is the biggest strength for his team. Everyone knows how much the scoreboard moves when Vaibhav Suryavanshi's bat swings. But, when he does not play, the condition of the Indian Under-19 team again becomes the same, as was seen in the second warm-up match against England. In its second warm-up match of the Under-19 World Cup against England, the Indian team lost its entire top order within 80 runs.
